The Shopmobility Webring Home Page

The Shopmobility Webring exists for Shopmobility, Dial-A-Ride and Community Transport schemes to create a central database of sites. This database can then be examined by visitors to an area to establish contact with the local scheme and arrange to make use of their services before traveling. It will also encourage more visits to your site.

Should you wish your site to be on the Shopmobility and Community Transport Webring all you need to do is follow these instructions, or visit the webring website, and search for the shopmobility webring.

According to Yahoo!, a webring allows you to:

Link to other web sites like yours and...
Increase traffic to your site!
Use a simple navigation bar to link to other sites.
Find concentrations of sites quickly and easily.
Create a Ring and develop an online community

Joining the Webring

To become a member, visit: http://G.webring.com/wrman?ring=shopmobility&addsite. If your site is suitable you will be added to the list on a provisional basis. During that time you should add the navigation bar (see below) to your front page.

To change any of your account details, visit http://g.webring.com/hub?ring=shopmobility.

Don't forget to keep your details correct on your entry in the ring. This means both your URL and the contact e-mail address. If either are wrong your entry may be suspended and/or deleted, and if your e-mail address is no longer correct I won't be able to tell you!

Please allow 14 days for your application to be processed.

The Navigation Bar

Every site in the Ring must prominently display a list of all the rings that they are in. This list is a list of so called navigation bars. They are automatically generated by a line of JavaScript that you obtain by visiting http://dir.webring.yahoo.com/mbr?p=mr. The code is unique to each site, but only appears once no matter how many rings the site is in.

The code looks like

<script language=javascript src="http://ss.webring.yahoo.com/navbar?f=j&y=yahoo_id&u=999"> </script>

If all is well you will see something like this appear on your site

Not yet member

After you are accepted you should see the following full banner appear automatically:

After you've added the new code, don't forget to remove your old Yahoo code if you have any.

Frames

How many times have you heard that frames are to be avoided? Well I have another reason for you. One of the big problems with frames is that they're rather non-standard, so search engines are confused by them. The Yahoo Navigation Bar checker also gets confused by frames, so it tends to think that you don't have a working navigation bar since it's it a frame that it doesn't see; and if it can't see a working navigation bar it will suspend you.
